Hub vortex instability within wind turbine wakes: Effects of wind turbulence, loading conditions, and blade aerodynamics

Year: 2016

Type: article

Abstract: Laboratory and numerical experiments have shown evidence of the helicoidal instability of the hub vortex in wind turbine wakes. A new study predicts the characteristics of the hub vortex instability using a linear stability analysis for different turbine loading conditions, blade aerodynamics, and incoming turbulence
